Indices

Listed in the Corpora Index are titles of projects that Ruskin clearly developed as distinct corpora. The list includes titles that overlap with some found in the Works Indices, since Ruskin conceived of some groups of texts as a single composite work. Other titles in the Corpora Index are nearly coterminous with titles found in the Manuscripts Index, Ruskin sometimes using the physical boundaries of a major manuscript to help define a corpus. Indeed, in the encoding procedures of ERM, any major manuscript forms a kind of corpus, albeit a miscellaneous one, and can itself be made up of other corpora. Listed here, however, are manuscripts that Ruskin identified as distinct anthologies or composites.

Titles of copora default to an Apparatus Page, which in some cases is identical to a Work Apparatus, but which in other cases such as poetry anthologies assembles information unique to a collection (e.g., title, contents, date, organizing themes, and other discussion). The Apparatus Page links to the corpus witness, or in some cases to multiple witnesses or corpora that constitute a version or versions of the collection.
